74. One is tempted to conclude that T-jump experiments are intrinsically nonlinear because for all ΔT≠0 (typically ΔT>0.5 K) the measured enthalpy response is significantly different from that extrapolated to ΔT=0. Within a given experimental uncertainty linearity can be operationally defined for sufficiently small ΔT even under these conditions.
